Passion Pit to perform March 29 at The Pullo Center at Penn State York

Passion Pit, with special guest Mayer Hawthorne and The County, will take to the stage at Penn State York’s Pullo Family Performing Arts Center (The Pullo Center) at 7:30 p.m. on March 29. Tickets are $28 and are on sale now. Tickets can be purchased at The Pullo Center Box Office and at http://www.pullocenter.yk.psu.edu/ or by phone at 717-505-8900.

Boston-based Passion Pit began as the one-man project of singer and songwriter Michael Angelakos to produce a Valentine's Day gift for his girlfriend. The gift, an album titled Chunk of Change, wound up in the hands of friends and acquaintances that were enthralled with the work. Eventually, Passion Pit became not only a vehicle for the romantic expressions of Angelakos' heart but a full-fledged band, opening for a number of well-known artists, including Death Cab for Cutie.

Passion Pit’s electronic indie pop has been featured on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” MTVu’s Woodie Awards, and gained them a nomination at MTV’s 2009 Video Music Awards. In 2010, Passion Pit has been selling out shows all over the United States, Europe, Asia and Australia. The show is brought to the area by WXPN radio.
